Industrial Constraints and 2026 Ramp-Up

Deliveries totalled 32 aircraft in 2025, constrained by persistent supply chain disruptions affecting critical components.

ATR reports:

• Improved Final Assembly Line flow
• Reopened workstations
• Parts shortages reduced to one-third of early-2025 levels
• Enhanced supplier coordination

The company targets a 20% increase in deliveries in 2026 compared to 2025 output.

Technology and Sustainability

ATR entered a new R&T cycle under the EU’s Clean Aviation framework with two flagship programmes:

• HERACLES

• DEMETRA

These initiatives aim to deliver a hybrid-electric ATR 72-600 flying testbed by 2029, integrating hybrid propulsion, advanced propeller systems and electrified architectures. The work informs ATR’s future “EVO” next-generation concept.

Strategic Positioning

ATR highlights structural demand drivers for regional turboprops:

• Modal shift from ground to air in developing markets
• Connectivity gaps in mature regions
• Growing premium regional travel segment
• Rising fuel costs favouring fuel-efficient turboprops

Despite industrial headwinds, ATR exits 2025 with:

• Stable financial performance
• Record services revenues
• Strengthened industrial foundations
• A growing installed base

The manufacturer positions 2026 as the start of a controlled production ramp-up aligned with sustained regional market demand.
